h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I just thought you'ld like to know - you spelt floccipaucinihilipilification wrong. Cheers.

Not by my dictionary, my grandmother's dictionary, or the online dictionary I haven't.

¦M¦

Oh. Ok.
That's going to bug me now... I wonder which one is right?
Perhaps both - English does wierd stuff like that sometimes.

But... do you know what it means? (No checking the dictionary now )

An estimate of something that is worthless.
And my dictionary is a huge Chambers one, and my grandmothers is a huge Oxford one. Both very good dictionaries. Neither mention a floccipaucinihilipilification...

¦M¦

...interesting...

I'm probably going to disappear for about the next week and a half - holidays doncherknow. I hope your christmas and new year's are all that you hope for.

Take care, and see you soon.


"Ain't nobody here but us trees..."

Yeah...

OK then. Have a good holiday and Christmas and new year.

¦M¦

Hi I'm back. Busy at work already, but I exist!

Cool, how was Christmas / New Year / the holidays if you celebrate neither of them?

¦M¦

It was alright - nothing special though. The best bit was catching up with my family, and taking my nieces and nephew to the park. New year's sucked. Never mind; that just means the year can only get better!

(Oops, I accidentally deleted the last line of that just before I posted! Here 'tis: )

How was your holidays?

Oh dear, what made it bad?

My holidays were almost OK, except for the revision. And then Samson being put down...
Now I have four exams, and hopefully after that things might even start looking vaguely better.

¦M¦

happy nu year, your Mingness

Sorry to hear about Samson and the exams. Hope things look better (and I'm pretty sure they will ). Just to let you know I'm still alive and came through december without any major injury.

take care

[HP}=~~

HP!! You are still alive!! Happy New Year and all the rest of it!
Yes, they /should/ start looking better... until February comes and Dad hasn't found a new job...
OK, I'll stop spreading gloom again.

¦M¦

Nothing really happened, as such. Just lots of little things that bugged me. I didn't help that I was supposed to go bush for a few days, and coudn't 'cause my friend's car broke down and they got stranded in Auckland, so they couldn't go. (They were supposed to take me too.) So I spent most of the party at new years fidgeting and wishing I could be somewhere else. Oh well.

Yeah... my dad's out of work at the moment, too. I guess it doesn't affect me as much as it would you, 'cause I'm flatting, but it's still a bugger. At least you've got h2g2?? I don't know if that helps, but the thought's there.

Take care, and keep trees.

Ahh. Yeah, that is annoying. Still, it could have been worse... I don't like that phrase, but it is true.

Ooh dear, that's not good. Hope he gets a job soon, anyway.
Yeah, h2g2 helps! A lot!

¦M¦

Hi Ming! Noticed you're in at the moment, so I thought I'd drop by and say Hi!

Oh dear, that must have been just as I was going offline last night... sorry!
Anyway, how are you?

¦M¦

That's ok!
I'm fine. Working too much, as usual...

What do you do?

¦M¦

I'm a professional computer nerd (You can tell I just /love/ it! ) There's various descriptions of exactly what I do floating around my page.
Probably most of the reason I spend so much time on h2g2 is to aviod working...

Well, that and the company!
